THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete_asset needs a policy

Deleting an asset cannot be undone and permanently removes project content. This is a destructive operation that could cause significant loss of work. While the impact is scoped to the editor project rather than production systems, the irreversibility and potential for agent misuse (e.g., deleting critical assets by mistake) justifies 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_asset' combined with description 'Delete an asset.' indicates irreversible deletion of data within the UEFN editor project.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_asset gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control delete_asset

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_asset:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_asset"
  ]
}

delete_asset disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Uefn — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about delete_asset

What does the delete_asset tool do? +

Delete an asset. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Uefn MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on delete_asset? +

Register the Uefn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_asset: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Uefn. Nothing to install.

What risk level is delete_asset? +

delete_asset is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit delete_asset? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_asset rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block delete_asset completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_asset. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides delete_asset? +

delete_asset is provided by the Uefn MCP server (quangdang46/uefn-verse-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Uefn tool call.

Start from Uefn, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
